Your Dating Profile: How To Write One, When To Update It, What Not To Include (Rewrite Mine With Me)
FYI: If you’re listening to this anywhere that isn’t YouTube, you may wanna skip between 19.45-24.30 as I’m updating my dating profile and if you can’t see it, it’s not that interesting….
In this juicy, slightly chaotic (but super helpful, I think) episode of The Date with Confidence podcast, I walk you through exactly how to write — or rewrite — your dating profile with confidence and clarity. We're talking prompts to avoid, what to actually include, and how to get into the best headspace before you even open the app.
I even screen-record myself updating my Hinge profile so you can see it in action (gulp). Vulnerable? Yes. Empowering? Also yes. If your profile needs a glow-up or you're just getting back into dating, this is for you.
During Happy Hour we also get into the Hinge Cringe of the week, Swipe Right Spotlight (am i even gonna keep this segment?!) and a Dating Dilemma that had me shouting: WASH YOUR FUCKING HANDS, PLEASE.
Tune in now to hear:
1. Why mindset is key before updating your profile
2. The two lists you have to have before writing your profile (and dating in general)
3. Prompts that give manipulators a script to use against you
4. When to update your profile (and what not to include)
5. Why passive-aggressive profiles won’t be getting you a decent date anytime soon
6. Changes I’m making to my own dating profile (watch as I tweak on YouTube)
7. A Dating Dilemma that reminded me of dating a guy I’d rather forget existed
